22-03-20 Trosa - practice session with good friend Stefan

With the recent warm weather i decided to try Trosa for about the 4th time since Christmas to see if the fish are responding to the increased temperatures . 

When arriving into the town i decided to view the weir at the top of the town to see if fishing looked feasible . On arrival there was about several foreign anglers throwing our really amateur gear with floats that were sending our beacons they were that big and standing out . It didn't matter to them as they were after what they could take , they took out a lot i later found out . 👎😡😡😡😡😡😡

I decided to carry on up to where the river widens to the harbour area opposite the Bohmans Hotel. There i met up with good friend  Stefan Johansson who i have known for many years . He is a great specimen angler and environmentalist who respects his fishing and the fish that are caught in terms of catch and release . 

Earlier that morning in Sodertalje ;

Trosa weir

Stefan prefers a centre pin for moving water fishing - takes me back to those Trent days when so many anglers used them for perfect control .

Classic Centre pin 

Stefan with yet another Ide , he had 11 in total !

Cracking fish and his best was 2.650 kilo

Great weather day , in fact too bright and when the towns folk and other anglers came down causing much disturbance the fish backed of.

My place just upstream from Stefan and just the one fish for my toils 

Just the one , but a nice one 

Back home and it was Leicester 2 Brentford 1 to cap a great day
